Indoor flowers can make any room more cozy and comfortable. But not all plants are suitable for growing in a house or apartment.

The fact is that some of them pose a danger to health and life.

TV doctor Elena Malysheva spoke about this in more detail.

Aif.ru has compiled a selection of the 10 most dangerous indoor plants.

The most dangerous indoor flowers include aglaonema, azalea, and amaryllis. If such plants accidentally end up in food, allergic reactions and poisoning are possible.

In addition, you should not grow hydrangeas in the house. Lush and beautiful flowers leave no one indifferent, but contact with the stem and leaves can cause skin irritation in some people.

You should also avoid growing dieffenbachia at home.

Euphorbia, pachypodium, ivy, philodendron and cyclamen are not suitable for this purpose. They contain elements that can cause poisoning.

If you decide to grow such plants in your home anyway, it is important to keep them out of reach of children and animals. They contain substances that can cause intoxication and poisoning in the body.
